They’re YouTube. At their scale, there’s no such thing as an “edge case.”

Nah, they still have weird edge cases. That's what keeps eg SREs busy. (I used to work as an SRE on Google Photos.)

But at YouTube scale, the cases need to get weirder and weirder to fall into 'not-yet-handled' territory.

Sometimes all the holes in the cheese still align.
